Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other query is entered into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, we use the submitted information to read and answer the message. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Automatic Site Data
Basic technical data may be collected when pages load so the site can function, improve, and diagnose errors.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time on each page.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and support analytics or advertising. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Sierra County record pages are useful.
- To find technical problems and abuse patterns.
- To support advertising that may be based on general interests.
Other Websites
The site links to Sierra County pages, New Mexico court and corrections resources, federal locators, VINE, and third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the outside website's own privacy notice and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or show interest-based ads. Those tools operate under the partner's policies, not this notice alone.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to limited service providers or authorities in these situations.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks used to support the site.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government agencies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information, but no website, server, or internet transmission can be guaranteed as completely secure. Use care before submitting sensitive details through any online form or partner tool.
Users Under 18
